FAQ
What does Aignep manufacture?
Aignep is known for pneumatic components including push-to-connect fittings, compression fittings, pneumatic tubing, solenoid valves, manual valves, FRL (filter-regulator-lubricator) units, and related air prep and connection hardware used in industrial automation.
How do I identify the correct Aignep part number?
Use the full catalog number from packaging or the fitting/valve body. Aignep part numbers typically encode fitting style (straight/elbow/tee), tube size, thread type, and material/series. For replacements, match tube OD + thread type + series/material to avoid leaks or poor fit. Give Centro a call to get expert assistance to make sure you get the right product.
Are Aignep fittings and tubing interchangeable with other brands?
Sometimes dimensionally, but not always reliably. Push-to-connect performance depends on collet design, tube tolerance, material hardness, and seal type. If you mix brands, verify tube OD tolerance and confirm pressure/temperature ratings for the full assembly.
What size tubing do Aignep push-to-connect fittings use?
Most Aignep push-to-connect fittings are specified by tube outside diameter (OD) (common: 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 1/4", 3/8", 1/2"). Always match tube OD, not ID, to the fitting size.
What thread types are available for Aignep fittings?
Common thread standards include NPT (tapered) and BSPP/BSPT (parallel/tapered). Thread type must match the port you’re installing into. If you’re unsure, check the equipment manual or measure the port—thread mismatch is a top cause of leaks.
Are Aignep fittings brass, nickel-plated brass, or plastic?
Aignep offers multiple materials depending on series: polymer bodies, brass or nickel-plated brass, and stainless options in certain lines. Choose material based on environment: corrosion, washdown, chemicals, and temperature.
Can I use Aignep components for food, beverage, or medical air?
Only if the specific tubing and fittings are rated/approved for that use. “Pneumatic” doesn’t automatically mean “food-grade.” Verify material compliance requirements (and your plant’s standards) before using in regulated environments.
What is an FRL and why does it matter?
An FRL (filter-regulator-lubricator) conditions compressed air to protect valves and actuators. Clean, regulated air reduces sticking, seal wear, and inconsistent cylinder motion—especially in high-cycle automation.
